Nice common areas on deck - appreciated the stage area in a central spot that was consistent with music and entertainment throughout sea days and in the afternoons as cruisers were returning to the ship.

First Time Cruisers-Loved the experience

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

We really enjoyed our first cruise experience. Overall, the service was amazing for the amount of people on the ship. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and helpful. With that being said, the service wasn't perfect, but we didn't let that ruin the experience. Both embarkation and disembarkation was quick and efficient. We enjoyed the many varieties of bars and restaurants. We had no ...

Giving NCL a second try as a long-time Princess & Celebrity cruiser

Background Information This was our 2nd Norwegian cruise (31st overall for me, 32nd overall for my husband) - we'd previously sailed separately on Norwegian Sky more than 10 years ago. When the Prima class was announced, we decided that this was a ship design very much to our liking. So we thought it was time to give Norwegian another try with a new ship more in keeping with the ships we've ...

This was my seventh cruise and my fifth NCL cruise. We had a balcony room near the back of the boat on the 11th floor. The room was quiet and the room and balcony are exactly what I had expected of a newer large NCL or RCI ship, I've always discounted reviews of others when they posted negative reviews of food. I'm not a particularly 'foodie' type person. I will clarify my thoughts by saying ...

Overall, we had a great time. This was our first NCL cruise, only cruised Princess in the past. We went with another couple and we all had a great time. Food was okay in the Main dining rooms, Specialty dining was better, but not much. We don't get caught up with that, as we realize they are preparing for 4000 + guests and specialty came with the package. the 150 minutes of wifi was a joke, we ...

I booked this cruise about 5 months ago to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I bought it on a supposed “sale”. When things were done, the sale price was inflated by almost $ 1000. I bought a balcony cabin with the drinks package ( they then upcharge you on that to include tips - you have no option to decline that charge, so that pads the bill) and it does not cover all tips or taxes. They also threw ...

Worst NCL cruise ship I’ve sailed in almost 10 years.

I’ve been loyal to NCL for the past 9 years and have sailed most of the ships starting with the Epic and newer. I think NCL should fire the team who came up with this class of ship. What a waste. I’m in the middle of a sailing now. The shops are all closed for remodeling? Donna Summer cancelled for unknown reason. The only Premium entertainment show is The Price is Right? lol what? Food is ...

My top priorities in a cruise: 1) Good food/fast service 2) Nice non smoking casino 3) Nice spa 4) Great outdoor sitting areas to not be around a lot of people 5) Nice cabin and a ship with modern features that look like a spaceship And that's why we LOVED the Prima. It knocks off all of those things in perfect fashion. But some people gave the Prima really bad reviews, and I ...

We chose this cruise because of our past experiences with Norwegian. In the past we have been extremely happy with the line. We were not Haven guests on this trip. We also had friends who cruised for the first time and were deciding if they would like this type of trip. Overall the trip was average to below average WRT service,the room and bed, The cleanliness of the ship, casino prices, and ...

This was our 4th cruise with NCL we have cruised 5 times with Disney and 1 with Royal Caribbean. This will be our last NCL! The staff was rude and they didn’t care about their customers. We waited in 30 minute lines just to get a drink even a soft drink. The food was horrible except at Cagney. The excursion we booked was to include a catamaran but didn’t…they only refunded us 30.00. They ...

Haven was a Heaven

Last year we were on the Breakaway from New York ( round trip) this week. It wasn't offered in 2024 so we flew to Miami ( which cost a fortune for the five of us) grandparents, daughter and an 11 and 8 year old. We were in a two bedroom suite in the Haven. The bed was terrible ( soft and lumpy) and we had trouble sleeping. It is a beautiful Haven. I don't think it was sold out as the pool was ...
